About
Stop motion consists of creating the illusion of movement by capturing it image by image. To do this, simply take photos of your puppet regularly while moving it, then play these images back quickly and you're done!
We invite you to bring custom paper puppets to life and tell your own story. Imagination and patience will guide you in this creative workshop offered as part of the Manga Fans event.
Wednesday, December 2 from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Activity Room (level +1)
For children aged 8 and up
Registration required starting November 2 on billetweb.fr/pro/agendayourcenar or with the librarians
